The IRS continues sending $1,400 stimulus payments to eligible taxpayers who missed the final round of Covid-19 relief. To receive your payment, you must file a claim before April 15, 2025.

Eligibility Requirements:

Single filers:

• Full payment: Income of $75,000 or less in 2021
• Partial payment: Income between $75,000-$80,000
• No payment: Income above $80,000

Married couples filing jointly:

• Full payment: Income of $150,000 or less
• Partial payment: Income between $150,000-$160,000
• No payment: Income above $160,000

Dependents are eligible for an additional $1,400 each, subject to the primary filer's income limits.

How to Claim Your Payment:

1. File a 2021 tax return before April 15, 2025
2. Check eligibility for the Recovery Rebate Credit
3. Provide direct deposit information for faster payment

Important Notes:

• Filing a 2021 tax return is required even if you weren't originally required to file
• The IRS automatically sends payments to some taxpayers who previously filed with incorrect Recovery Rebate Credit data
• After April 15, 2025, unclaimed stimulus payments will be forfeited
• You can still claim the payment even if you didn't file taxes in 2021

To avoid missing out on your stimulus payment, verify your eligibility and submit your 2021 tax return before the final deadline of April 15, 2025.
